For years, schools have been bowing to the leftwing agenda which seeks to promote self-identification over reality as the ultimate truth. It’s now commonplace to see schools adhere to students’ trans, “nonbinary” or “genderfluid” pronouns, name changes and other preferences, but now, a school in Australia has taken things even further, and is reportedly “respecting” one girl’s decision to identify as a cat.

The 8th grade student (so around 13 years old) has apparently been given permission to act like a cat in class, provided she “doesn’t disrupt” other students. I would assume that a child acting like a cat every day during class would provide a significant distraction for the other students, but that is just my purview.

It was noted by staff that the school was dealing with a “range of issues, from mental health, anxiety or identity issues,” and that their “approach is always unique to the student and we will take into account professional advice and the wellbeing of the student.”

This news may be shocking, but in a world where anyone can identify as a boy or girl, or neither, or both is it such a stretch for someone to identify as a cat? And though some may say that such insanity could never come to American schools, but if there’s one lesson the past year should have taught us, it’s that the activist teachers and administrators who have infiltrated far too many schools are more than happy to embrace any and all forms of radical leftwing ideology.
